Preview the latest release from gay publishing house Bruno Gmünder!Secret Places features the exquisite photography of Parisian Jean-Baptiste Huong. Born in Saigon (Vietnam), Jean-Baptiste Huong is a director, editor and image designer based in Paris. His work has always been heavily influenced by Cinematography – a subject he studied for several years at the Pantheon-Sorbonne University.

Huong explains Secret Places this way:

As far as I can remember, decors have never been less important than models when it comes to my pictures. I believe that the best frames are a perfect balance betweenthe right people and the right setting. It’s the same thing in life: Sometimes it takes a special someone to make a special moment, in a special place. As a photographer,I’m always looking to showcase a sense—my sense—of beauty. But then again, beauty can be found everywhere, in a diversity of bodies and spaces.

When you get that perfect combination, the result seems unreal. This book could have been called Serendipity—a ‘lucky coincidence.’ Except that there’s no chance here:I do believe that we all have a secret garden somewhere to seek shelter, to disappear. Whether it’s a real one or just a state of mind. Whether we’re alone or with someone.That’s what I tried to do in this book. Capture those moments where the right people are in the right places.

If you have four and a half minutes, check out the short documentary ILIAS from Swedish filmmaker Joel Hördegård. ILIAS recounts one man's navigation through daily life in Greece where civil unions between gay men are legal, but they still have no protections against discrimination and are often harassed and beaten by others and get zero relief from the police. Worse, sometimes it is the police committing the violence against gays.

This brief documentary is definitely worth a few minutes of your time. You can check out other work from Joel Hördegård here.

The Metropolitan Film Institute is run by director Matus The First and cinematographer Konstantin Minnich. They have made quite a few entertaining commercials on the subject of sexuality. However, this latest effort which they call Queer Sex Commerical, has managed to be completely banned from airwaves around the world.

In their own words:

Sex can be new and exciting, adventurous and amazing. But sometimes sex can become a routine. We decided to break this routine again and make a commercial that promotes sex (and thinking) in a colorful way. The first ever ‪Gay‬ Sex Commercial. We hope, we can give the ‪LGBT‬ community something to celebrate. Because sex is not just one pencil and one sharpener - there is so much more in between!

New Zealand based non-profit Love Your Condom makes some of the most entertaining videos we have ever seen on the subject of gay sex and sexuality. Check out their terrific, but NSFW video, How Big is the Average Dick! In it, they not only explore the average size, but they either confirm or bust myths regarding the differences in Black Vs White, Gay Vs. Straight, and tell you which region of the world produces the largest number of highly well endowed gents. Also, you will learn the correct way to measure length!

But in the end, the message they want you to take away is Measure the Pleasure! Who cares about the size?! The amount of pleasure your partner can bring you is wayyy more important.
